When it rains it pours! Lost my wife, my job, my Camaro, and about to lose my house . All in just 6 months. At least I haven’t touched drugs in a few weeks

You can gain back most of those items. Stay sober and work on yourself

I’ve been through the exact same circumstances Edward. It’s devastating. But know that you CAN get most of it back. Stay connected and if someone offers to help…let them

Sorry about all these consequences brother. The only way out is thru. You can handle this. You know drinking/drugging ain’t the solution. As others have said, recovery will help you recover all that you need.

I lost everything too over 20 years ago.. but you can get it back.. just turn your life over to God.. it took me all these years to do it.. I had to lose everything.. go to prison and be on probation for 5 years.. but I finally decided to let God take the wheel.. and I’m get’n things back.. slow but it’s finally happening..

I lost a lot of things in early sobriety but as I got some sober time behind me I realized that the biggest thing that alcohol stole from me was ME!
I have so much shiny material things I had to build a big storage building. I also made a better choice of a wife. She doesn't drink at all. It's not that my first wife was a bad person, it's that we both weren't ready for a relationship and what we both needed at the time was the program of AA.
Figure out who you are. Reinvent yourself. Everything will be restored in due time as is needed. After you buy yourself another home, maybe out in the country somewhere, you could possibly build yourself a custom Camaro.
Like I said earlier it's an opportunity to reinvent ourselves. I'm turning 65 this year and my wife is 19 years younger than I am. We have a beautiful relationship. There's plenty of time for women. We usually make better choices in all areas of our lives when we have been sober for a while.
A wise man will build his castle first and then search for his queen!

Incidentally, in addition to what I posted above, have you ever considered going to the nearest airport and going up for a discovery flight? You will learn to do a PreFlight, start the engine, taxi to the runway and fly around in the air for about 30 minutes with you at the controls and a flight instructor in the right seat. Who knows, maybe you will want to start a new career as a pilot.
If you don't have the responsibility of family just yet the opportunities for you are endless. Freedom from alcohol is a freedom to make choices.
I see you have 26 days so for now, just keep that in mind. Work on your recovery first before you make any major decisions in the first year.
But I see nothing wrong with going up in the air for a discovery flight. It's a good way to show ourselves that life really can be great without alcohol.
